This text discusses all three formalisms used in the study of finite temperature field theory, namely the imaginary time formalism, the closed time formalism and thermofield dynamics. Applications of the formalisms are worked out in detail.
The approach taken in this text is largely practical, with algorithms being presented in full and working code (in BASIC, FORTRAN, PASCAL and C) on the accompanying disk. Exercises are included at the end of several chapters, many of which are computer based.

Based on lecture notes developed for a one-semester graduate course entitled "Interaction of Radiation with Matter". This course aims to teach enough quantum and classical radiation theory to allow students in engineering and the applied sciences to understand.
An exploration of random fields. The authors use an approach that firstly constructs innovation, which is the most elemental stochastic process with a basic and simple way of dependence, and then they express the given field as a function of the innovation.
